1. Introduction: Web3 Has Matured – Regulators Are Paying Attention The world of decentralized finance (DeFi) and cross-chain technologies has long evolved in a relatively "gray" regulatory zone. Innovation outpaced legislation, and the global and decentralized nature of Web3 created complexities for traditional regulatory approaches. However, as transaction volumes

1. Introduction: Dilemmas of Trust in the Age of Interchain Interactions Cross-chain technologies promise us a world without barriers, where assets and data move freely between blockchains, opening new horizons for DeFi, GameFi, and all of Web3. However, this freedom and power come with immense responsibility. Users, by entrusting protocols

As decentralized finance (DeFi) matures, it continues to confront long-standing issues surrounding liquidity, arguably the foundation on which the entire ecosystem is built. In traditional finance, capital is strategically allocated by institutions to manage exposure and optimize returns. In DeFi, however, liquidity has often been reactive, mercenary, and vulnerable. Many

Introduction Cross-chain DeFi is approaching a coordination bottleneck. As assets, execution, and strategies fragment across chains, capital becomes reactive—moved only after inefficiency is noticed. Mitosis flips this script by embedding predictive coordination into the liquidity layer. Enter Liquidity Oracles: intent-aware solvers that route value before inefficiency happens. From Reactive

Introduction As DeFi scales and modular blockchains multiply, the need for fast, verifiable computation has become more than an academic challenge — it’s a prerequisite for trustless infrastructure at the global level. With the final design of Nexus ZKVM now published, Mitosis marks a major milestone in delivering this capability

Introduction The crypto stack has long struggled to align user intent with cross-chain execution. Bridges and wrappers attempt to patch over the gaps, but introduce complexity, risk, and fragmentation. Mitosis, through its Nexus zkVM, delivers a radically different model: verifiable, intent-based execution across ecosystems — secured by zk-proofs and powered by
